Dennis N0CKD/N4CKD used to maintain such a list ...  I don't know
if it is still available.  EI8IC also has a similar list at:
http://www.mapability.com/ei8ic/contest/topband.php but it appears
to have not been updated over the entire last sunspot cycle ...
K8ND also has a list here (dated 9 September 2010):
